Having worked in national and international organizations including the IOFC (London), Reuters (London), Oxfam, among others, I have effectively achieved high experience in translation and communications roles, including work in both cultural and commercial environments. In addition, I have an extensive experience in interpreting.

I have exceptional translation skills with the ability to work under pressure to meet the deadlines.

Through assisting clients with language difficulties and liaising actively and proactively. Appropriate interpretation associated with communications skills, would bring benefit and create understandings.
